Convert AMF to DRC via Python

Render AMF as DRC without any 3D modeling and rendering software.

How to Convert AMF to DRC Using Python

In order to convert AMF to DRC, we’ll use

Aspose.3D for Python via .NET

API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use document manipulation and conversion API for Python. Open

NuGet

package manager, search for Aspose.3D and install. You may also use the following command from the Package Manager Console.

Command line
pip install aspose-3d

Steps to Convert AMF to DRC via Python

Python programmers can easily load & convert AMF files to DRC in just a few lines of code.

Load AMF file via the from_file of Scene class
Create an instance of AmfSaveOptions
Set DRC specific properties for advanced conversion
Call the Scene.save method
Pass the output path with DRC file extension & object of DrcSaveOptions
Check resultant DRC file at specified path

System Requirements

Before running the Python conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

Microsoft Windows or Linux based OS.
Python 3.5 or later.
Aspose.3D for Python referenced in your project.

A 3D File Processing Library to manipulate 3D files without any modeling and rendering software. The 3D API supports Discreet3DS, WavefrontOBJ, FBX (ASCII, Binary), STL (ASCII, Binary), Universal3D, Collada, glTF, GLB, PLY, DirectX, Google Draco file formats and more. Developers can create, read, convert, modify and control the substance of 3D document formats easily.

AMF What is AMF File Format?

Additive Manufacturing file format (AMF) defines open standards for objects description in order to be utilized by additive manufacturing processes such as 3D Printing. CAD programs use the AMF file format by making use of the information such as geometry, color and material of the objects. AMF is different than STL format as the lateral does not support color, materials, lattices, and constellations.

drc What is drc File Format?

A file with .drc extension is a compressed 3D file format created with Google Draco library. Google offers Draco as open source library for compressing and decompressing 3D geometric meshes and point clouds, and improves storage and transmission of 3D graphics. It encodes the input data and saves it as .drc file. At the receiving end, the API reads .drc files and can output these as PLY or OBJ files. The compressed output file enables users to download apps faster and provide quick loading of 3D graphics in browsers.

Other Supported Conversions

You can also convert AMF into many other file formats including few listed below.

AMF TO 3DS (3D Studio DOS Mesh)

AMF TO DAE (Digital Asset Exchange)

AMF TO FBX (3D Format)

AMF TO HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language)

AMF TO OBJ (3D File Format)

AMF TO PDF (Portable Document Format)

AMF TO PLY (Polygon File Format)

AMF TO RVM (AVEVA Plant Design Model)

AMF TO STL (Interchangeable 3D Surface Geometry)

AMF TO U3D (Universal 3D)
